COFFEE ON A BIG BOOM.
Less Profit for clearinghouse
Keepers-Sa Coffee Trade.

Less Profit for clearinghouse
Keepers-Savannah's Coffee Trade.
The recent rapid and heavy advances in
the price of coffee are attracting widespread
attention, and it is evident, as stated in the
MORNING NEWS yesterday, that the bean is
in the hands Of spectators In controlling
markets there has been considerable activity
during several weeks past. 1t has had
a very depressing effect on the local market,
and dealers say that buyers are taking very
sparingly.
In wears gone by Savannah handled more
coffee than any port south of Baltimore
except New Orleans, but there has been
big falling off in receipts, due
to the fact that importers here
have stopped importing, owing to the rigid
quarantine imposed on vessels from Rio
Janiero There has not been single cargo
imported during the past year. The receipts
for the year up to April l were only %, 159
bags. against 30 S34 bags in 1885, showing a
decrease of more than one-half from the
amount imported two years ago. The re-
ceipts since April ! are 2,164 bags.
The rise in coffee began really about nine
months ago. since which time it has adj
vanced steadily In the past few weeks the
advance in values has been enormous. Last
September a bag OF prime coffee was worth

The high price of the bean is not without
its effect and the average boarding house
keeper looks at this necessary article tor the
breakfast table as worth its weight in gold
at least some boarders are complaining and
say that the strength of their favorite
| beverage is now on par with Sunday
| school and circus lemonade. The average
| housewife is greatly distressed when she
finds that she is compelled to pay twice the
amount per pound that she paid year ago.
On Saturday the New York market was
still tending up, though it had quieter
tone. The fact that a year ago SO, 900 would
buy 1000 bags of coffee, and that the same
quantity will now cost S26, 900, tells the story
as to the extent of the advance
The coffee trade of Savannah last year
represented over s700,000-very nearly
three-quarters of a million. The consump-
| ton in the city is very large, as it is in all
| Southern cities, and the advance means a
good deal to the coffee drinkers. The prin-
! ciple theory as TO the cause of the advance
| is speculation. Another theory is short

A New Railroad Deal.

Some time during the past year the bond
holders of the Asheville and Spartanburg
railroad formed themselves into a syndicate
for mutual protection About $500, 900 in
bonds were issued in 1888 for the completion
of the road to Asheville, since which time
the bondhohers have received no interest
on their investments. Recently overtures
were made to the syndicate looking to the
purchase of the bonds. and it is said that
during the past week the whole amount of
the bonds have been sold, with the exception
of a few thousand, the owners of which
were unwilling to accept the terms offered
to the syndicate.
The amount of bonds held in Charleston
by banks and individuals, the Ne,Cs and
Courier says, is about 100000, and the
price obtained is said to have been 45c. on
the dollar. The bonds were sold to the
agent Of a Northern syndicate, but are be
lieved to have been purchased for the Rich
mond and Danville Terminal Company.

THE DAILY NEWSPAPER.

The progress made in journalism during
the last ten years is marvellous. The daily
newspaper is now the mirror of the
worlds doings. 1t has all the searching
qualities of the microscope; nothing too
small to shade its scrutiny, and its pene
tration tears away the veil from the most
jealousy guarded secrets. Its industries
are almost superhuman and its enterprises
boundless. On its pages are spread out, as
on a map, the history Of the world for a
day, from the incidents which ripple upon
the social currents of great cities, agitating
the sluggish atmosphere of country life,
to the events that share the destin-
les of natioas and mark the progress Of the
age 1t is tireless record, never hating.
never broken, never knowing an end.
When the world rests from its labors and
the children of toll are out in holiday at
tire, when festivals summon the labOrer
from the factory, workshop or field, the
journalist is buster than ever. Festivals.and
celebrations mean to him only an increase
of labor The reader who picks up his
daily newspaper knows little of the vast
amount of labor and skill and the numer-
Gus agencies combined to furnish him with
the news-Albany Argus.

THE STORY OF KISSANE.

In 1854 William Kissane passed two
forged checks upon the Chemical Bank of
New York, amounting to $4,000. He
WAS arrested, indicted and convicted of the
crime, and sentenced 10 two years and six
months at Sing Sing. One of the indict-
ments remained un.ried, and as it has

PROSPECTIVE SUPPLY OF HOGS

The summer pork packing of 1887 has
opened with moderate resources OF market
able hogs. There is, however, says the
Cincinnati Price Current, no actual scarci-
ty of young hogs. as rule in the districts
where these animals are chiefly grown, and
there is generally plentifulness OF corn and
other feeding material The Unexpectedly
high prices which have been paid the past
two months have brought into the winter
g .ason considerable stock which otherwise
W ,uld not have reached the packing estab
lishments until later.
The January estimates of the Department
OF Agriculture imply nearly 7per cent less
OF swine in the western packing states at
a corresponding time last year. The pack
ing during January and February varied
but little in number of hogs compared with
corresponding time last year. The Janu
airy report Of the Department of Agricul
ture last year indicated 2 per cent larger
number Of swine in the west than the pre-
cecding year; the increase In the summer
was IS "a per cent in number compared
with 1886.
Investigations made by the Cincinnati
Price Current have brought returns which
indicate prevailing belief that the supply
of hogs for summer marketing is not equal
to last year. Averaging the reports of cor
respondents the result reached is as fol
lows, compared with 100 representing last
year: Ohio So, Indiana IS, Illinois 81,
Iowa 50, Missouri IS, Kansas Sc, Nebras
ka 80. Minnesota s., Wisconsin so, Michi
gan SIS, Kentucky los, Tennessee IS. APP
plying these averages to the relative merit
of each state in the basis Of supply the
general average is 50, implying 10 per
cent reduction rs compared with last
year. In view Of the fact that the winter
hes been a favorable one generally for
stock, and that the late unusual demand
for young swine for fattening proposes
implies an appearance of scarcity in many
instances that does not in fact exist, and
which more or less governs the opinions OF
those who are accustomed to estimating
upon such matters. we regard it likely that
the estimates have overrated the shortage.
and that decrease of more than 10 per
cent is not probable, while 1t is not in
probable that it may be even smaller
reduction, as compared with the exception
ally large number of hogs marketed last
year. We consider il reasonable to expect
the season equal to furnishing supplies for
packing 100000 hogs or more for the
eight summer months, compared with last
years 5.644, coo 1t is well understood by
the trade that there are various con,ingen
cIes liable to arise within period of eight
months not anticipated which may essential
" affect the marketable offerings Of hogs.

WHO THEY ARE.

1t was on the 9Th Of April, 1871, that
the Archbishop Of Paris was arrested by
the communists, who began their insured
tiopary movement two weeks before. The
archbishop and sixty four others were exc
cuted on the gath of May. and the insur-
rcctionists were overthrown five days later.
In the short reign of the commune, from
March 18th to May goth, most of the pub
lie buildings in Paris were dismantied or
burned, over fifty thousand people were
killed and fourth part Of the city was de-
stroyed. The estimated loss in buildings
and other property was $50, 900 900.
Many of the anarchists of that time came
to America. and for years they have been
preaching the same doctrine that they
hoWled through the streets Of Paris in
1871. The same class inaugurated the
Haymarket riot in Chicago last May.

HOW DEEP TO PLANT.

This Is good time of the year to con-
slider how deeply grain should be covered.
Extensive and probably careful expert
ments have been made by eastern expert
mental stations Cornell University, New
York, tried it. covering various samples of
wheat from half an inch deep to six and a
half inches, on equality and preparation Of
soil. That which was covered the least, or
on. half inch. was the most vigorous plants

o Ulcers of that institution that shallow
pl inting Is the best. Other eastern expert
m nts have tended to the same conclusion.
There are some seasons in Iowa. says the
State Register editor, when such shallow
Covering would be best, but II seldom hap

In raising oats We always succeeded best
by blowing them in, covering three or four

and if they are left day or two TOO long
the straw crlpples down, dropping the
heads below the sickle of the reaper, there

the oats deeper the roots keep damp longer,
the straw is sitter, keeps green longer,
